Gavan is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), an organizational development consultant, trainer and partner change agent with over a decade of experience coaching leaders on governance methods — insights, strategies, and initiatives in both the U.S.A and Canada.
Gavan’s coaching philosophy focuses on communication using emotional intelligence, strengths-based leadership theory, and ICF coaching principles. To maximize individual and organizational potential, Gavan believes that developing deep self-awareness is key. With a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of how an individual operates in relationship to others, they can start to lead authentically.
A foundation of trust and transparency is what allows innovation and unrealized potential to be ignited. 360s are fine, of course, but taking a deeper dive into what makes the individual leader truly “tick” is a crucial next step. Gavan’s challenge-for-growth: “Want to know where you thrive as an influential leader? Want to understand how your teams can work better together? Taking the Learning in Action EQ assessment and debrief is a great place to start the journey to truly impact your influence through self-aware and dynamic leadership: high-performance energy and focus will be the result shared by all.

As a coach and strategic planning consultant, I draw on the knowledge and perspectives gained from more than 30 years of leadership experience in the business world, as well as in non-profits and as an individual who has made significant career and personal transitions.
As a business executive the focus was on leading the financial turnaround and cultural transformation of professional publishing companies including the Los Angeles Times as its Publisher, President and CEO. My specialty was in leading organizations through profound change and transformation.
My coaching practice is in three areas that I care about deeply: leaders in for-profit and non-profit organizations, women executives and individuals contemplating or facing significant life transitions.
My educational background is a J.D. from Stanford University School of Law and a B.A. in economics from Lewis & Clark College in Portland Oregon. I am a certified by the Hudson Institute of Coaching.

I work with CEOs, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs to build emotional intelligence. Research shows that emotional intelligence matters twice as much as IQ or technical expertise, that it accounts for 67% of the abilities necessary for superior performance, and that it is directly related to financial success. In my Emotional Intelligence Executive Coaching programs, I include outdoor activities such as hiking, walking and even skiing. Why be in an office when you can be outside?
At UC Davis, I earned my BA and also my Professional Coaching for Life and Work Certification. As an Associate Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation, I specialize in Emotional Intelligence. I am also part of the business coaching and consulting teams at Capital Training and Ambrosini Group.
International trade was my specialty while working for many years at The North Face. Currently, along with Kivel Executive Coaching, I am also the Owner and CEO of SKY Fitness. And, I am certified in Emotional Intelligence through Learning in Action Technologies.
Collegiate soccer was part of my experience while studying at UC Davis. Now, I love to travel and have skied throughout France, Switzerland, Austria and Chile. I am also a triathlete and mountain biker and love Airstream adventures. I am fascinated with the science of health, happiness and mindfulness. I also love spending time with my three teenagers. Recently, I was interview and filmed for the upcoming documentary, Alumination,
